My 22 year old ex endurance horse had an accident in the
mud pasture yest. He came in last (he's herd leader and so
this was red flag #1) and was walking oh...so...slowly.  He
has some scrapes on the inside of his right stifle, I
clipped them, washed and applied antibiotic ointment, but
this morning there is a swollen area above the highest
scrape (this scrape had a tiny puncture from a stick) and
it's pretty hot to the touch.  Vet is called and I'm
sitting here waiting to hear back from the vet about when
he can see him.  Keep your fingers crossed that it's just
minor and that some more cleaning and oral antibiotics will
do the trick.  (He just received his vaccines w/Tetanus 2-3
weeks ago!)  He's a crotchety old man but still my darling!
I fear he's getting knocked off the top of the food chain
by my current endurance horse that is learning he can put
the old man in his place!
